Terminology Guide
The BEEP Terminology Guide provides clear definitions of key terms and features used within BEEP. This resource helps users understand essential concepts for expiration tracking.
A
Admin
An Admin is a user with the highest level of control in a BEEP team. Admins can manage team settings, invite or remove members, and configure key features such as expiration alerts and notification settings. They have full access to modify product details and categories.
B
Barcode
A Barcode is a machine-readable code used to quickly scan and identify products. In BEEP, users have multiple options for barcode entry: they can scan a barcode using their smartphone camera, manually enter the barcode number, or add a product without a barcode (if one is not available).
C
Category
A Category is a classification used to organize products in BEEP. Users can create categories to group similar products so that it’s easier to manage and search for products. Users can also set notifications by category in BEEP (e.g., 1 day before expiration, 30 days before expiration, custom date) for more targeted expiration tracking.
E
Enterprise Plan
BEEP’s Enterprise Plan is designed for organizations managing more than 10 teams. It provides a centralized dashboard and allows users to manage products, track expirations, and handle billing for all branches in one place.
Expiration Alert
An Expiration Alert is a notification sent by BEEP when a product is nearing its expiration date. Users can customize their alert settings (e.g., 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM) to receive notifications and prevent expired inventory.
Expiration Date
An Expiration Date is the date after which a product is no longer safe or effective to use. BEEP helps users track expiration dates so inventory stays fresh. Users can input expiration dates in three ways: by typing the date manually, selecting a date from a calendar, or using a scroll spinner to pick a date.
L
Limited Member
A Limited Member is a user with restricted permissions in a BEEP team. Limited Members can add product details and receive expiration alerts but cannot modify or delete them. This role also does not have access to manage categories and team settings.
M
Member
A Member is a standard user in a BEEP team with permissions to add, edit, and manage products and categories based on the team’s access settings. Members can update product details and track expiration dates, but they do not have full administrative control.
N
Notifications
Notifications are alerts sent by BEEP to inform users of upcoming expiration dates. Users can configure their notification settings to receive expiration alerts.
P
Premium Plan
BEEP’s Premium Plan allows users to manage unlimited products and categories. It offers flexible pricing options, including monthly, 3-month, 6-month, and annual subscriptions.
Product
A Product is an individual item tracked in BEEP with details such as name, barcode, category, and expiration date. Users can add products manually or by scanning barcodes and update product information at any time.
S
Settings
Settings is the section in BEEP where users can customize team preferences, expiration alerts, billing, and other app configurations.
T
Team
A Team in BEEP consists of multiple users collaborating on product expiration tracking. Teams can have Admins, Members, and Limited Members with different levels of access and permissions. In BEEP, users can create multiple teams and switch between them as needed. Pricing is based on a per-team basis, so each team requires its own subscription to the Premium Plan for unlimited product tracking.
